It depends on the kind of stuff that you will be chipping. As far as I know a 45 degree angle disc chipper is more efficient for chipping wood, especially hardwood. 90 degree disc chippers and (hydraulically fed) drum chippers are better at brush and stringy material. Until you get to the real big guns that is, where drums rule, from what I know, which isn't much.
 
Well that is a tough one it has been my experience that
drum chippers are less trouble for normal cleanup my old
whisper lasts and is in the shop less than new slow feeds,
but I have not run the big boys like cone heads and the
like. How much brush a day would be a big factor I if could
afford one could use a tub grinder.
